Bonjour and Happy Friday to you all!
I am SO excited for the weekend ahead of me! My parents will arrive tomorrow for a big event.
What is the big event, you might be asking?
They are coming to Minneapolis for the 2nd Annual Julia Child Night.
You all know how obsessed I am with France - but I share an obsession for Julia Child with my aunt Barb, the author behind the blog, Adventures with B and B. Tomorrow night we'll be cooking up a feast fit for a king! It will feature Beef Bourguignon as well as other fabulous French dishes. I am taking care of the cheese and olive course and tonight I will whip up some chocolate mousse which we'll have for dessert. Please cross your fingers for me - I hope it turns out ok!!
I am sure I will back next week with lots of photos. You can read about the inaugural Julia Child Night here if you would like!
I'm off to iron my Anthropologie Apron - cute aprons are a prerequisite for this evening! Au revoir!
What do you have on tap for the weekend?

Have fun! I will be crocheting a blanket for a friend who just had twins! And reading hopefully. A nice lazy weekend ahead!
Oh this sounds so fun! Just like the dinner party in the movie :) I swear I will have to try a Julia Child recipe one of these days... sounds like a great excuse for a dinner party! Have a wonderful time!
You will have so much fun! I can't wait to see what all the menu entails and of course, pictures. Have lots of fun, friend and a great weekend.
I am hopefully having a movie night with my 14 year old cousin, shes coming to spend the night, then we're going shopping in Pittsburgh tomorrow and having lunch with a friend from college and her twin daughters.
Awh! This sounds like fun!! Hope you have a good time and can't hear about it.
This weekend I'm running in my first 10km (excited) and starting to prepare for my thesis defense, which is happening in just over a week!!
My apron is in the wash! I am so excited to head to Mpls. and see my family! And I can't wait to eat the delicious food and visit with everyone!
That sounds like a fantastic weekend plan!
Oooh I'm so excited - you better take pictures! Beef Bourguignon - yum!
This weekend we're headed to PA to visit some family and go to an apple fest - can't wait!
Have fun! I miss enjoying to cook, that is one thing that does not ever sound good so far this pregnancy! Though, I do enjoy eating what others cook, not at my house! haha. I am going to a housewarming party for a cousin and going shopping with my mom. Should be a good weekend!
Its going to be such a fun event for you!! I can't wait to hear how it goes.
We have infant cpr on saturday, evening mass, dinner party at Sara's house and then I am having some girls over on Sunday for a craft day!
Oooh I loved looking through your pictures from last year! You are going to have such a good time. Take LOTS of pics - especially of the drool-worthy food - OK?!
Happy Friday to you too lovely! Can I come to your house for tea?!
Sounds like so much fun! Hope you have a great visit with your parents :)
OOh fun! I can't believe you're ironing your apron. Okay, I can... Should be a great partay!
I love this!! Have fun, I can't wait to drool over pictures :)
How exciting to read everyone's responses about our Julia evening! I happily spent the afternoon in the kitchen preparing for tomorrow! See you tomorrow!
I will look forward to your recap of the evening. Hello to all.
Wow you are very very impressive! I'm pretty sure I will die (hopefully at age 100) as someone who never ever cooked a French recipe. But I'm excited to see what you do!
I am at the foodbuzz festival this weekend!
Aw, that sounds like a lot of fun for you and your family. I love cute aprons! Today I had a great time when my college friend visited from Florida. We had a great time going to a football game, eating local pizza, and visiting my dog. I hope you enjoy your weekend!
I love Julia Child too!!! :) Your night sounds so cute! I cannot wait to see pictures and read all about it! I hope things are continuing to go well in your world!!!
Lisa! thanks for introducing us to your Aunt - went over to her blogplace to say hello.
Love this Julia night that your family has invented. Might even top Thanksgiving, eh?
Food and family turning out sounds awesome.
Yes, please send us some chocole mousse! (good thing you can't, really. Egads, I could eat far more than my share!)
Wonderful tradition - thanks for sharing with us!
I might now watch JULIE AND JULIA!
Hi, LIsa,
I popped over from Oh's spot because of the name of your barn and my penchant for anything yarny. But then to discover we have a Julia passion in common simply makes me smile!
I'm a tad envious of your party! (It's a wonderful recipe!) Have a fabulous time!
Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful evening. I don't know how many times I have bought back the wonderful taste of chocolate in your mousse. It was superb.
anonymous is me!
